Overview
Laser teeth whitening is a type of dentistry procedure used to improve the colour and look of teeth, with instant results. Laser teeth whitening procedures have several advantages over traditional teeth whitening procedures, including the fact that they are less intrusive and offer better results with less discomfort for the patient. Patients love laser teeth whitening procedures because they can dramatically improve the look of their smile and boost their confidence with a short trip to the dentist.
Preparation
Patients who want to opt for this procedure are required to have a dental checkup beforehand in order to see if laser teeth whitening is the right solution for them. The dentist may advise other treatments before undergoing this procedure. It’s also important to clarify what results can be achieved and how many sessions will be required – some patients may require multiple sessions before achieving their goal. Patients with other dental issues such as cavities will be required to treat these first before undergoing laser teeth whitening.
How It Is Performed
Laser teeth whitening starts with the isolation of gums and lips (for protection reasons) followed by the application of a special gel on the surface of teeth. The professional gel will be activated with the laser’s light, giving a whitening effect. The laser technology allows the dentist to be very precise and save the bone structure of the teeth. The operation is pain free and it lasts around 60 minutes. If during the operation the teeth become too sensitive, the process can be continued in another session. At the end of the procedure, the patients will be able to see the effects immediately.
Recovery
There is no recovery period associated with laser teeth whitening. The patients can go back to their routine activities immediately after the procedure is done.
Risks
A laser teeth whitening is a safe and painless procedure but it can have some minor risks:
Laser teeth whitening can have some secondary effects but they will subside in a couple of days:
The secondary effects can be ameliorated by avoiding drinking or eating too hot or too cold and by using a desensitizing tooth paste.
Laser teeth whitening treatment is a very popular procedure and it has a 70% rate of success.
Before And After
Patients can enjoy the benefits of laser teeth whitening for up to three years, provided that they avoid certain food, drink or habits:
Patients are also required to maintain a healthy oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly after the procedure is performed. It’s also important to note that teeth do colour naturally with age.

Made my trip overseas so much easier!
Yasmin was extremely helpful, friendly and made planning my trip so much easier. I don't know what I would have done without her! She told me how to get a travel visa and luckily warned me of any travel restrictions that were going on! I had to rebook my trip twice due to covid & restrictions and Yasmin handled everything on the hospitals end. One of the times I had to rebook it was because my layover was in london and Turkey banned all incoming travel from the UK. The airline never notified me so if it wasn't for Yasmin warning me I would have gotten on the plane and been stuck in london! Going overseas to a country you've never been to before to get plastic surgery can be scary, having Yasmin made it a lot less scary knowing you have somebody there that's on your team to help you.
I highly recommend the services of Flymedi

Long waiting times in UK…
Because of long waiting times in UK hospitals due to Covid19, I hit upon the idea of having my bilateral hernia surgery done while on a 2-week holiday in Antalya. After making inquiries through Yasmin, I had a short but comprehensive consultation with an eminent surgeon Prof Alihan Gürkan and my operation was scheduled for a day halfway through my stay in Antalya. It went well with keyhole surgery, I stayed in overnight and was discharged the next day, which gave me 6 days to recover before my flight home to Scotland. Yasmin kept in touch throughout, making sure I had transport to and from the hospital, and a special thanks to Fatma, my mentor and guide at the Memorial Hospital on my day of tests and examinations. I telephoned my surgeon a few days after the operation for advice on removing my plasters and he was most helpful and reassuring about my complete recovery. I was not too fond of the breakfast, but considered it as another form of medicine! My flight home was amazingly comfortable without painkillers, although they were definitely needed for a few days after my operation. In conclusion, I would be happy to have other treatment like this, though in a nice sort of way I hope never to set eyes on the Memorial Hospital again. 🙂
A very positive outcome
A very positive outcome, following my decision to pursue in having dental cosmetic surgery/treatment carried out in Turkey. Excellent advisory skills by Flymedi rep Abud. He was professional, well informed, and followed me up with total attention throughout the whole process. Last but not least, I thank Dr Ahmed Kumsan and his team at Infinity Smiles Dental Clinic for their commitment and professionalism. Highly recommended.
Thank you Flymedi
I was considering several different options, however Abud was by far the most committed and helpful of all the agents I'd been in discussions with. Everything was organised for me and I was guided throughout and if I was feeling apprehensive about anything or had any questions Abud was always on hand to answer my questions and give reassurances. I'm so happy with the results of my operation and I was left overwhelmed by how friendly and supportive everyone was throughout. If you're considering using flymedi then I can honestly say you'll be delighted with the service both before during and after your surgery.
